One of my "best friends" in college was this guy who swore that he didn't want any kind of relationship with me. For years. He made it so clear when we first met, so I believed him. We would go to the gym every day and we'd go to minigolf or the movies or out to Applebee's or some such place at least every other week. He was also huge into going to places for poetry readings and coffee shops. He was so adamant about not wanting a girlfriend but not fitting in with guys, and after a couple years he told me how he'd never been attracted to girls and had never gotten an erection over a girl. By then we were really close and I assumed this was sort of a clumsy trial run for coming out (this was the early 2000's in the South), because he used to always love to help one of my friends with braiding and styling her really long hair, and he used to always suggest things like calling a bunch of girls over to watch romantic comedies, and whenever a girl from my social circle had a relationship end, he would always want to have everyone get together and drink wine and make fun of the offending ex.

There was no real big dramatic ending except one day a year or so after we graduated my brother told me he ran into Tyler in a bar downtown. He said that he recognized him from my Facebook and he introduced himself, and Tyler blew up right away and said "Dude your sister is so loving stuck up! I tried to gently caress her for FOUR YEARS and she never put out."

Opposite Land: A girl I hung out with in highschool and early university who I thought I was really good friends with turned out to have a thing for me but never made a move. I found out years later from a mutual friend and was like "drat... I would have gone for that! :("

It's just bizarre because I am a lanky rear end goony dude, I am not cool at all.

In high school there was a girl I was friends with and I decided that I liked. I literally built my schedule and extracurriculars around spending the most time with her. Then I got shot down after two years of this poo poo and asking her out over text, and was incredibly depressed for a very long time afterwards. Holy poo poo was I a pussy.

E. I also owned a trench coat and several fedoras. These posts are like looking in a mirror -10 years.

Also I had a friend who was a self defined PUA, it get's even crazier than manipulation and smooth slick bullshit. Sometimes it sounds like a creepy battle plan.

"Take special notice of any girl sitting at the bar. You should look for ones toward either end of the bar that have nobody sitting next to them. Once they have ordered their drink you immediately sit down next to them and begin. Being located at either end of the bar when you introduce yourself to the mix you are cutting them off from the large majority of the room and focusing their attention. If they have ordered a drink then they have no excuse to ignore you and you will catch them off guard as they were focused on receiving the drink and haven't had time to process what they would do after that. If you strike at the right moment they will be socially disoriented"

"Comedians" do suck though. Hanging out with them means listening to them try to "out-funny" each other, and if you tell an amusing story they'll ask you if they can use it in their next "gig". (Gig means enough failure comedians convinced some poor bar owner to host an open mic, but since comedians are broke as poo poo because they aren't funny, they don't buy that many drinks and then after a couple time the owner says 'No More.')

I dated a girl who was friends with a shitload of amateur comics. I would not recommend being friends with most amateur comics.

I don't normally tell this story, but I think there are some lurkers trying to learn things in this thread (don't learn social interaction from the internet, you need to go outside and learn in person!), so here's an example of something a dude did which made me unhappy. No woman I ever dated has ever done anything similar, or seemed like she would, which I think says a lot about why it's easy to lesbian-date and hard to hetero-date.

I had been seeing this guy for a short while. We were only a few dates in, but things seemed to be going all right. He seemed responsible and fair and generally like a decent sort of person. He invited me to come meet his friends at the bar (and not like a dive bar, just one of the ones where normal folk hang out), and I accepted, because I thought that this was him showing trust in me and legitimate interest in having a relationship with me. I think trust is the most important aspect of a relationship, so I assumed this was a good sign. He came and picked me up at my place, and he drove me to the bar. We're having a good chat along the way, friendly a fun. Then, once we get to the bar, he goes around the side of the car to open the door for me. It's not a necessary gesture, but I don't mind it. However, as I'm getting out of the car, he says, "I want my friends to like you, so you will keep your mouth shut."

I was considerably taken aback by this, but I did as instructed. I barely spoke the entire evening, and mostly just nodded or let him answer questions about me. I didn't feel good about it but I felt confused and was trying to work out what was going on. Once we finished up, and got back into the car, he was elated. He thought everything went great. I still wasn't speaking much, since I was processing things. He just kept blabbering and blabbering about what a great evening it had been. At some point, I realize we're taking a route I don't recognize, and I'm like, huh? And he says, "We're going back to my place :smug:". I hadn't been to his place before, and we weren't at the point where we were having sex. He had definitely not broached the idea of going back to his place beforehand. I said, "No, I would like to go home, please."

Of course, he lost his temper immediately, and accused me of being a horrible bitch who "ruined the perfect evening" and "why would [I] gently caress up everything now?" Eventually I convinced him that I was serious and he needed to take me home. He complained the entire way back, but he did take me back to my place, and I of course did not invite him in to follow me. He sent me a string of abusive text messages all night. A few days later they were all apologetic, but then they became hostile again. None of them ever seemed to realize why I had been unhappy, though, and they rang false considering that he was clearly only apologizing because he knew I was unhappy and not because he thought he'd done anything wrong. (In fact, a few were even "I don't know what happened but--") I got periodic texts for him for about a year after that, even when I told him not to contact me any more. He's probably told plenty of people about the crazy bitch who suddenly went ice queen on him and dumped him for no reason.

I have a friend who was dating a guy for 7+ years and though he was always invited to go out with her and her friends, she was never invited to go out with him and his friends... she'd only met his friends a few times in passing or briefly while hanging out at his apartment. She was getting to the end of her rope with the relationship and eventually told him that she wanted to go out for the group dinner his friends had planned for his birthday, and he agreed.

When they went to the restaurant the guy didn't introduce her to anyone, so after a while she just announced to the table who she was and met everyone, who were pleasant and happy to finally meet her. She had a good time, and really liked a few of his guy friend's girlfriends.

At the end of the night he drove her home, and I guess as soon as the car door was closed he started losing his poo poo at her, telling her that she had no idea how badly she'd embarrassed herself and how foolish she had made him look. He dropped her off and went home, she was wreck, until she spoke to some friends and realized how hosed the entire thing was.

She broke up with him, found a great guy quickly, they're married now.

My theory is that he had someone else on the side (or she was actually the side) and he needed to keep her separate from his friends, least it should all come crashing down by a stray comment or someone taking pity on her

Sex is great and all, but if you think attractive young women are universally horrible monsters, why would you ever want to be in an intimate relationship with one?

Remember a while back how that former male porn star who went insane after he was forced out of the industry for being a huge weirdo created that website that doxxxed (;)) hundreds of female porn stars? The sites bio for him talked about how the women were all disease ridden sluts, addicted to drugs, and lived pathetic lives opening their legs for any man... but also how this guy was a huge stud because he had sex with so many of them.

It was so irrational and contradictory that I couldn't put it as anything other than mental illness.

Fat Shat Sings posted:

I like this mentality as I've been the boyfriend in 2-3 separate occasions.

The more naive the girl is about what is going on the more annoyed I get. "What, James just wants to buy me an xbox, go out to bars with him, let him buy me jewelry and go to the mall because he is that good of a friend Sure he sends me huge rants about how I'm the only one that "gets him" and how I need a "real man" but I told him I'm not interested and he totally understands that. By the way he wants me to go out to dinner with him DON'T TELL ME I CANT HAVE FRIENDS"

It's less irritating when your partner realizes and goes "Yeah the guy is kinda creepy and all he does is talk poo poo about you despite never even meeting you"

I hate that guy. I dated a girl and her best guy friend was apparently always telling her that he didn't see us lasting for various reasons, then one night when my girlfriend and her friend were getting ready for the bar he and I were stuck in a room together and he told me he just didn't think girlfriend and I were right for each other and she'd always told him that I was a really good friend until the day he found out we were dating.

Anyway, a while after she and I broke up they started dating and living together. After a night out they got home and she was barfing and hosed up. He wanted sex and she said no, she woke up the next morning to find out he had raped her while she was passed out :stare:
